Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings Risers & Fallers: Omar Cooper & Adonai Mitchell Ascend
FantasyLife • • sports
Key Points:
- The Week 9 fantasy football rankings have shifted significantly following Friday's injury reports, with notable players ruled out and others returning, impacting player values and roles.
- Tyler Allgeier (RB, ARI) is a major riser due to the absence of Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight, making him the clear lead back for the Cardinals and a strong RB2 option despite a tough matchup.
- Jets receivers Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper have increased value with Garrett Wilson out, as they are expected to see near-every-snap roles and become startable fantasy options against the Chiefs.
- Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is a potential breakout candidate given multiple offensive injuries, a favorable matchup against the Commanders, and significant route participation recently, making him a viable streaming option.
- Braelon Allen (RB, NYJ) and Drake Maye (QB, NE) face declines in value; Allen due to Breece Hall's return reducing his workload, and Maye due to injuries to key offensive weapons and a tough matchup, though Maye remains a necessary start.
